New for 2011

START time has been changed to 7:30 a.m.

• This will revent potential heat-related issues and will mean that the race presents fewer problems for people living and doing business along the course. 

Entry Limit Increased from 2750 to 3050 Entries

• This is an additional 300 spaces for runners who plan ahead.

Runner shirts will be offered in both men's and women's sizes this year.

• Instead of unisex shirts, we will offer both men's and women's sizes. We’ll use RaceReady shirts again in 2011. Please consult the sizing charts on their web site before you register – saves us all a LOT of trouble later. Our 2010 designer – Mike Kasun – has also agreed to design our 2011 shirt – yiiipppeee!! 

The marathon relay has been discontinued.

• We know that many people enjoyed the relay and are disappointed by this decision. Please understand that it was not made lightly. We discussed over a period of several years and just had to admit that the relay required resources disproportionate to the number of participants. We’d encourage relay runners to give the marathon a try or to find a great volunteer assignment.

• The Expo will again be held at the MSOE Kern Center on Friday from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. It is located at 1245 N Broadway in downtown Milwaukee.
• Packet pickup will be held at the MSOE Kern Center, having the same hours as the expo.

• NO race day packet pickup.
